oh yeah baby - at last, well made Madiran at decent price point: inky brooding dark fruit & exotic spice, cocoa, coffee, licorice, layered, sexy full bodied fleshy - lingering finish — 5 days ago

This 25-year old really is a testament to the power and longevity of Tannat.

A bouquet of stewed blackberries, dried figs, and prunes mingling with tobacco leaf, leather, and hint of barnyard. subtle waft of black dark cocoa as well. On the palate the bold structure remains mostly intact. Bright acidity adds intensity. The finish is long, candied and savory. — 5 months ago

Just like the ‘17 bottling, this is a robust, structured red with deep black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Started off with light barnyard, the Tannat delivers dense plum and licorice, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon’s cassis and Cabernet Franc’s herbal lift. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise another 8-10 years aging potential.
Such a great value!

Sturdy and tannic. Not dark nor brooding. Still enough fruit to keep things balanced. I actually kinda missed the usual barn, poop and cattle smell. — 3 months ago
